>studying chess to advance beyond 1350 elo
Unless you're trying to win professional tournaments there's no reason to do this. You should try to be better than perhaps 55% of the population at chess, so that your chance of winning is marginally better than winning a coin toss. Why? For the explicit purpose of winning bets in bars.
And that's why I'm forever 1400

>>	Anonymous Sun Jul 16 14:14:57 2017 No.9040953 I used to play tournaments, but I can't stand playing chess online for some autistic reason, so I'll probably never play again as I'm autistic and don't make friends or leave the house.

Anonymous Sun Jul 16 17:52:30 2017 No.9041630

How can I get better at shorter gaymes?
I have studied opening theories, know a bit about strategy and if i play long games, sometimes I make a really thought out checkmate with some big sacrifices.
I have basically played chess for about two months, but pretty excessive. I have only played online games, in the beginning mostly 15min and 30min, now only 5 minute games.

I cant really just move a piece and be sure, that everything is protected. I have to actively check every single piece, and with a short time control I cant do that, so im stuck at around 1300 with Blitz-Chess.

Please help, it really hurts losing everytime because of some silly bullshit.

>>9041630
People who can handle complex structures are doing that on purpose, hoping to overwhelm their opponent by giving them more than they can handle. On the other hand, being willing to exchange pieces down to simpler board arrangements can get you into trouble too
